Isaiah 8
1 Yahweh said to me, “Take a large tablet and write on it, 'Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz.'
Reče Jahve: “Uzmi veliku ploču i napiši na njoj ljudskim pismom: Maher Šalal Haš Baz - Brz grabež - hitar plijen.”
2 I will summon faithful witnesses to attest for me, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah son of Jeberekiah.”
Potom uzeh vjerne svjedoke, svećenika Uriju i Zahariju, sina Berekjina.
3 I went to the prophetess, and she conceived and bore a son. Then Yahweh said to me, “Call his name Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz.
Približih se proročici te ona zače i rodi sina. Jahve mi reče: “Nazovi ga Maher Šalal Haš Baz,
4 For before the child knows to cry, 'My father,' and, 'My mother,' the riches of Damascus and the plunder of Samaria will be carried away by the king of Assyria.”
jer prije no što dijete počne tepati 'tata' i 'mama', nosit će se pred kralja asirskog sve bogatstvo Damaska i plijen Samarije.”
5 Yahweh spoke to me again,
I opet mi reče Jahve:
6 “Because this people has refused the gentle waters of Shiloah, and is happy over Rezin and Remaliah's son,
“Jer narod ovaj odbacuje mirne tekućice Šiloaha, a dršće pred Rasonom i pred sinom Remalijinim,
7 therefore the Lord is about to bring up on them the waters of the River, mighty and many, the king of Assyria and all his glory. It will come up over all its channels and overflow its banks.
navest će Gospod na vas vodu Eufrata, silnu i veliku - kralja asirskog i svu slavu njegovu - i ona će izići iz rukava svoga, preliti se preko svih obala;
8 The River will sweep onward into Judah, flooding and passing on, until it reaches to your neck. Its outstretched wings will fill the breadth of your land, Immanuel.”
provalit će u Judeju, razlit' se i poplaviti je, popeti se do grla njezina; i krila će svoja raširiti preko cijele tvoje zemlje, o Emanuele.”
9 You peoples will be broken to pieces. Listen, all you distant countries: arm yourselves for war and be broken in pieces; arm yourselves and be broken in pieces.
Udružite se samo, narodi, al' bit ćete smrvljeni! Poslušajte, vi kraljevi daleki, pašite se, bit ćete smrvljeni, pašite se, bit ćete smrvljeni!
10 Form a plan, but it will not be carried out; issue the command, but it will not be carried out, for God is with us.
Kujte naum - bit će uništen, dogovarajte se samo, bit će uzalud, jer s nama je Bog!
11 Yahweh spoke to me, with his strong hand upon me, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people.
Jer, ovako mi reče Jahve, kad me rukom uhvatio i opomenuo da ne idem putem kojim narod ovaj ide:
12 Do not call conspiracy anything that this people calls conspiracy, you will not fear what they fear, and do not be terrified.
“Ne zovite urotom sve što narod ovaj urotom zove; ne bojte se čega se on boji i nemajte straha.
13 It is Yahweh of hosts whom you will honor as holy; he is the one you must fear, and he is the one you must dread.
Jahve nad Vojskama - on jedini nek' vam svet bude; jedino se njega bojte, strah od njega nek' vas prožme.
14 He will become a sanctuary; but he will be a stone of striking, and a rock of stumbling— for both the houses of Israel, and he will be a trap and a snare to the people of Jerusalem.
On će vam biti zamka i kamen spoticanja i stijena posrtanja za obje kuće Izraelove, zamka i mreža svim Jeruzalemcima.
15 Many will stumble over it and fall and be broken, and be ensnared and captured.
Mnogi će od njih posrnuti, pasti, razbiti se, zaplesti se, uhvatiti.”
16 Bind up my testimony, seal the official record, and give it to my disciples.
Pohrani ovo svjedočanstvo, zapečati ovu objavu među učenicima svojim:
17 I will wait for Yahweh, who hides his face from the house of Jacob; I will trust in him.
Čekat ću Jahvu koji je lice svoje sakrio od doma Jakovljeva - u njega ja se uzdam.
18 See, I and the sons whom Yahweh has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from Yahweh of hosts, who lives on Mount Zion.
Evo, ja i djeca koju mi Jahve dade Izraelu smo znak i znamenje od Jahve nad Vojskama što prebiva na Gori sionskoj.
19 They will say to you, “Consult with the mediums and spiritists,” those who chirp and mutter incantations. But should a people not consult their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?
Reknu li vam: “Duhove pitajte i vrače koji šapću i mrmljaju” - dakako, narod mora pitati svoje “bogove” i za žive u mrtvih se raspitivati! -
20 To the law and to the testimony! If they do not say such things, it is because they have no light of dawn.
Uza Zakon! Uza svjedočanstvo! Tko ne rekne tako, zoru neće dočekati.
21 They will pass through the land greatly distressed and hungry. When they are hungry, they will become angry and curse their king and their God, as they turn their faces upward.
Lutat će zemljom potlačen i gladan, izgladnjela bijes će ga spopasti, proklinjat će svoga kralja i svog Boga. Okrene l' se k nebu,
22 They will look at the earth and see distress, darkness, and oppressive gloom. They will be driven into a land of darkness.
pogleda l' po zemlji, gle, svuda samo mrak i strava, svuda tmina tjeskobna. Ali će se tama raspršiti,
